ICF Construction FAQs
What Is
Insualted Concrete Form Construction (ICF)?
Similar to poured concrete walls, ICF construction uses the concept of setting up concrete forms and then filling the forms with concrete.
The forms used in ICF construction, however, are hollow blocks made of rigid thermal insulation.
These blocks securely interlock with each other. When the forms are completed with ICF blocks, concrete is poured and allowed to dry.
Unlike poured concrete walls, the block forms are not removed after the concrete has dried. Instead, the ICF blocks remain and help provide insulation.
To finish the construction process, plumbing and electrical parts are typically placed in the insulating blocks. The final layer is then placed on the interior and exterior.
The final interior and exterior layers are attached to the ICF blocks. Because of the block construction, the final touches can be made to look similar to typical construction.
The poured concrete wall sandwiched between the ICF blocks provides the long-term durability, stability, and efficiency that Insulated Concrete Form construction is famous for.

Building a new home or structure means thinking beyond the finished appearance. The foundation and walls need to provide lasting strength and dependable protection, while also helping create a comfortable space to live or work.
ICF construction offers a way to address those needs in one building system. Its reinforced concrete walls provide excellent structural strength, while the insulated forms help reduce drafts and improve energy efficiency. The result is a home designed to better handle severe storms, resist pests, and provide greater peace of mind for years to come.
If you are building a new home, or another new building construction, you want the best foundation possible. Although it may be a newer form of construction, Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) construction is a great choice for your new foundation or walls.
Combining the best of concrete poured walls and modern insulation, ICF allows for your new building to be secure, strong, and stable - no matter the weather Central Indiana throws at it!
